Loss-Cone Stabilization in Rotating Mirrors: Thresholds and Thermodynamics
E. J. Kolmes, I. E. Ochs, N. J. Fisch
In the limit of sufficiently fast rotation, rotating mirror traps are known to be stable against the loss-cone modes associated with conventional (non-rotating) mirrors. This paper…
Lowering the reactor breakeven requirements for proton-Boron 11 fusion
Ian E. Ochs, Nathaniel J. Fisch
Recently, it has been shown that altering the natural collisional power flow of the proton-Boron 11 (pB11) fusion reaction can significantly reduce the Lawson product of ion densit…
Ponderomotive Recoil for Electromagnetic Waves
I. E. Ochs, N. J. Fisch
When waves damp or amplify on resonant particles in a plasma, the nonresonant particles experience a recoil force that conserves the total momentum between the particles and electr…
Fueling limits in a cylindrical viscosity-limited reactor
Tal Rubin, Elijah J. Kolmes, Ian E. Ochs +2
Recently, a method to achieve a "natural hot-ion mode" was suggested, by utilizing ion viscous heating in a rotating plasma with a fixed boundary. We explore the steady-state solut…
Partial-Ionization Deconfinement Effect in Magnetized Plasma
M. E. Mlodik, E. J. Kolmes, I. E. Ochs +2
In partially ionized plasma, where ions can be in different ionization states, each charge state can be described as a different fluid for the purpose of multi-ion collisional tran…
